Charging time: approx. 140 min
•
The indicated charging time is for when the battery has been discharged completely. The
charging time may vary depending on how the battery has been used. The charging time for
the battery in hot/cold environments or a battery that has not been used for long time may be
longer than normal.

Battery indication
The battery indication is displayed on the monitor/viewfinder.
•
The indication turns red and flashes if the remaining battery power is exhausted. (The power lamp
also flashes) Recharge the battery or replace it with a fully charged battery.
Notes
•
Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the power plug terminals. Otherwise, a fire
and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting generated heat.
•
The battery becomes warm during use and during and after charging. The camera also becomes
warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
•
The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not recommended that
the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully charged. (Since characteristic
swelling may occur.)
